So close!!

The inside of the house is so close to being finished. We can see the light at the end of the tunnel!!!! Saturday Andrew had to work so he took off yesterday so he would have two full days on the flooring for our living room and hallways. 

Sunday went a little slow because we were just figuring it out, but once we got the hang of it things went pretty fast. 

Sunday was tons of fun on the farm! We discovered that the creak that runs on the border of the land has fish in it!!!!

We didn't have our fishing poles but we did have a tackle box, so I rigged us up some cane poles to use. 

Lexie caught a fish but it flopped off before we got it up on the bridge. We are still figuring out what the trick is to landing the Arctic Grayling Trout. 

I bought Lance a little boat a couple weeks ago, but he hasn't been able to use it because we have gotten quite a bit of rain. Yesterday he was finally able to take his boat out on the creek.

It didn't take him long to figure out how to row. 

Daddy let Lexie have a turn too, but we had to be extra careful because of her cast. 

We had another exciting event happen on Saturday. While I using the weed eater I found a frog!! The kids loved it! I knew we had frogs in Alaska but I had not seen one yet. 

The kids played with it for a while then let it go when we had to leave. The farm just became tht much more awesome to the kids. 

Monday we got a late start. I let Andrew sleep in since he never gets to. On the way down to the farm we seen a firework stand with a big blowup slide. We just had to stop. Lexie was a little slow making it up the ladder to the top, but she did great and the kids had a blast playing with 3 little girls. We purchased some firecrackers and headed down to the farm. It rained most of yesterday so Lexie had to stay inside with us because we can't have her cast getting wet. Lance went out with his rain coat and boots. We had a fire going burning some boxes and stuff. He kept a check on that, played with the dogs, looked for frogs, and checked the creak. 

Lexie helped hand dad glue and boards. The kids loved the new slick flooring. The slid around all over it playing.

I cleaned the bedrooms up to get ready for carpet that will be installed TOMORROW!!!!! 

Before we left we shot off some fireworks. I felt like we were celebratin a huge milestone of completing the flooring. We LOVE our little farm!!!
